Don was a kind and loving man. We send our thoughts and prayers to the entire family. He was a faith filled man who went to be with his Lord on the Holiest of days. Rest in Peace.

Thoughts and prayers for your family today. We so wanted to be there today. The snow is already falling here, so we are not making the trip. We will miss him.

My father provided his family with a good time to say “good-bye.” Songs, stories, pictures, laughter, tears, hugs and cups of coffee were abundantly shared these past two months. A quiet excuse to love was his gift to our noisy chaotic family. Thanks, Dad.

What a wonderful person who loved the Lord and his wife and family. I'm so blessed to have memories of our families together. Cousins we are but I'll always know the only one who called me Sa-rah and how special that has been.
